It all depends, the extra 5 cm isn't going to make a huge difference. Do you hit more jumps or rails? And what length were your previous skis? If I were you I'd go with the 176, but if you answer these questions I can give you a bit more help.

since they are rockered skis buying them taller is wise. Rocker makes them ski shorter. Go with something taller than yourself or based or what size skis you like normal camber. Want something skis shorter buy shorter and vice versa

ok this is the suitation.
i ordered the 176cm (but still not sure if that was the right thing to do) then i got an email from on3p saying that i can get the 171cm in the next 2 weeks but they wont be sending out the 176cm untill september and as live and ski in australia it is the middle of our season so to get them earlier would be sick.

i about 50/50 rails and rumps but im only a beginner in the park really. my previous skis are 169cm salomon lords.

can people please help me make my decision

In my opinion, it'll be worth the extra wait as they ski super short.

But if you're desperate for them to arrive then go with the 171s.
